5.0 out of 5 stars Best H/L Omaha book I had

I had several Omaha H/L books several years ago when playing on-line was available. I had the hard copy but purchased the Kendal
addition so I could read it whenever I was traveling. This book was a lot better than the 4 other books I read on Omaha.

2.0 out of 5 stars Useful but poorly presented
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2012
Verified Purchase
My poker coach recommended this book to me so I bought it even in spite of some fairly marginal reviews by other Amazon reviewers. I got quite bit out of the book but I already knew how to play some poker games. In spite of the fact that it looks like a beginner's book, it will not be very useful for a beginning player.

Here are the pluses:

1. The basic information on how to play the game is correct as far as it goes. Cappelletti also has made an attempt to simplify high hand evaluation with a point count system similar to the Goren point count system for bridge. He also has developed a simple point count system for blind defense. While he does not go in to a lot of detail about how he developed these systems, they appear to be reasonable for full ring games.

2. He does present quite a bit of statistical information although it has to be dug out of the book since it is strewn around in various places. If you don't do your own probability work you can make a lookup table of this information and memorize it. If you can do your own probability work you are better off writing your own statistics spreadsheet, but Cappelletti gives you a good idea of some of the things you will need to know to be a successful player that you will want to put on that spreadsheet.

3. His discussion of the problems of blind defense is quite good and merits attention.

Now for the minuses:

1. This is definitely not a beginner's book although you would not know that by reading the first chapter, where is introduces the rules of the game. In the basic strategy section he immediately delves into some concepts that only an experienced poker player would understand.

2. The book overall is poorly written and poorly organized.

3. The book appears to be out of date given the way the games play today, especially online. By Cappelletti's standards you should never play because the chances of finding games these days where 6 or more players see the flop on the average are not very good to say the least. If you play online, forget it; the kinds of games he is talking about simply don't exist, with the exception of micro levels, which are a waste of time for a serious player anyway.

4. Even though this is not a beginner's book and in fact has some advanced concepts in it, Cappelletti stops short of adequately explaining the advanced concepts that you will need to play successfully given the way the games play today. He does not tell you how to make the adjustments necessary to play aggressive or short handed games. Since he is a live casino player, not an online player, he must think that 6 or more player rule is necessary to beat the rake, although he does not specifically say that. For online games with lower rake structures and rakeback available, shorter handed and more aggressive games can in fact be
profitable but he does not tell you how to play them.

5. Cappelletti frequently makes comparisions with other games. If you don't play the game that he is referencing, the comparison is useless from an instruction perspective.

6. Even though his chapters where he goes through some actual live hands contain some useful concepts, Cappelletti includes some straight high Omaha hands and Texas Hold'em hands. For a book about Omaha 8 or Better, inclusion of such material is inexcusable.

Overall I did get some useful information out of this book. It could have been a much better book if he had
a co-writer of the caliber of David Sklansky or Mason Malmuth to make sure that that material presented was both comprehnsive and well organized.

I truly believe the info in this book helped me to improve my game. The 'formulaes' of when to bet has helped me make the right moves. It's a book to refer back to, in order to keep your game sharp. Microbet

2.0 out of 5 stars For the Recreational Player, Not how to make big bucks
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2004

I was disappointed. I enjoy Mike's magazine articles, but this book is too anecdotal. He correctly explains common mistakes (don't be a fish) and points out how to be a fisherman (I like this better than the shark analogy). There are too few pages devoted to ranking of hands and strategy. There is some but not enough. Too many bad beat stories and not enough "do this" "don't do that". Mike seems to be more interested in fun than profit - - but maybe that is true of all Omaha players. I'll stick to holdem, thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sure helped me
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2006
This book was key in my decision to emphasize Omaha Hi-Lo over Hold-em. Since reading it I have had a final table at the Bicycle Casino Mini Series of Poker and a few tournament wins at PokerStars, Absolute and True Poker. What was impressive to me was how he supported his opening hand recommendations with computer simulation, as I had used simulation tools in Scrabble and learned much from them. There may be a weakness in the area of postflop play, but the opening hand section is a big winner. The recommendations on how to play all-high hands were very good too.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very dissapointing!
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2004
I was terribly dissapointed with this book. It struck me as a lazy effort to cash in -- a cut and paste of magazine articles and ego massaging annecdotes -- not a useful product for customers. The content is disorganized. Almost everything presented is vague. Most comments, described hands and annecdotes are about high-stakes tight games, when in the real world most customers are dealing with lower-limit loose games. I still do not have a clear idea from it what starting hands (besides obvious ones) he reccomends being played and from which position in which type of game. And the charts are HORRIBLE! They are obtuse and hard to read, some of them flat out don't make sense -- at least to a common player. There are references to 11 handed play (are there enough cards in the deck for that with the burns? -- I've never seen 11 seats at an Omaha table anywhere online -- nor in the LA card rooms)There are useless odds charts based on all hands going to river (which they don't) and there is almost no information on adjusting to shorthand (when a table has empty seats) or heads up (when playing tournaments)... The author should have figured out if he was writing for typical low/moderate limit players in typical loose games -- or high limit, aggressive pre-flop games. Of course then he wouldn't have enough material to fill out a book. Which is my take on this whole project. Compare it to Phil Hellmuth Jr.'s "Play Poker like the Pros" where step-by-step, beggining or intermediete players are given a set of tools, rules and an organized approach of how to apply, adapt and expand them to different game conditions and experience levels.
